What Wonder Woman Is About
Wonder Woman, known for seasons 2 and 3 as The New Adventures of Wonder Woman, is an American superhero television series based on the DC Comics comic book superhero of the same name. It stars Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman / Diana Prince and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor Sr. and Jr., and aired for three seasons, from 1975 to 1979. The show’s first season aired on ABC and is set in the 1940s, during World War II. The second and third seasons aired on CBS and are set in the then current day late 1970s, with the title changed to The New Adventures of Wonder Woman.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 141 minutes and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Gal Gadot, Chris Pine and Robin Wright to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, David Thewlis and Danny Huston lead the cast.
Key roles include Gal Gadot as Diana / Wonder Woman; Chris Pine as Steve Trevor; Robin Wright as Antiope; Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta; David Thewlis as Ares.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and fantasy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 7.3/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2017 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How Wonder Woman Compares
If Wonder Woman lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
Wonder Woman comes from Movies. Check your preferred platform for current availability, since regional rights move around.

On the whole Wonder Woman is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Gal Gadot and Chris Pine doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/adventure roots, It has held up since 2017 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Wonder Woman is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and adventure lane, the audience score holds around 7.3/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.3/10. Watch it if you want action/adventure you can settle into.
